The Great Escape

What more could you ask for? Steve McQueen, a motorbike, the chaps rallying against all the odds and doing a stirling job, stiff upper lips all round and then we've beaten the b******s. By that time every woman in the cinema knew he was coming home to HER and every chap was prepared to rush down the job centre and join up!
